L. dorsigera get nuchal humps?

Haha, it's very minor.

You can see it on the male in the first photo - not my fish by the way, mine aren't breeding the rude little bastards.

Put on some sexy music for them...I suggest Marvin or Luther

It's minor but I wouldn't have expected them to get one at all.

My chocolate is starting to show something but it's not really "humpy" like what a trimac would get, he just looks like he's got a lumpy forehead.

Mine started getting that at around 6" or so too. Not really in the normal area, a little lower.

Be more specific on smaller... my old buffalohead (african) had a marble in his forehead at like 4 inches!

I know it's an old thread, but do keyholes get koks? Anything comparable?

I was wondering if there was a list of cichlids that get the nuchal humps. I know about the big ones, but I just learned because of another thread that convicts get them? Are there any other smaller cichlids that get them? Do male blue acaras get the humps like GTs do?

cichlids which get noticeable nuchal humps include
Convict cichlids
Sajica cichlids
Blockhead cichlids
Nicaragua cichlids
Neetroplus

Still a good topic. Would be nice if there was a list somewhere.

I didn't say that it wasn't, I was simply pointing out how old this thread was due to the post previous to mine. They were quoting the OP. The OP hasn't posted here in several years.
